Im worried about how the media is handling voter fraud
It seems in 2000 and 2004 they just shut up, when the elctions were stolen. Now it seems they are ready to scream at the top of thier lungs "FRAUD" if the democrats win.

Just go to the major mainstream media webpages, its all about voting problems and glicthes, something may be up.

2. I don't think think it is necessarily as nefarious as that
I think the Republican Party is ready to scream fraud - caught a bit of Ken Mehlmen on the Rush Limbaugh show and he seemed to be already screaming fraud. For the media i think that plays into it, but also we've been talking about it for 6 years now - it's entered their mindset as something relevant, not something irrelevent.

5. You have to be kidding. THEY have been stealing for six years.
The only reason that they are screaming now is to keep the much deserved blame from being placed on them where it belongs.

All of the media hype on fraud now is only a smokescreen for the benefactors of election thievery.

9. Interestingly,
I caught a republican operative on TV, this morning, who spilled the beans and attributed the robo-call plan to Mehlman and claimed that Howard Dean was just pissed and whining because he didn't think of it first.

These clowns really think that way! He is responsible for a whole lot of the publiclown thinking of preemptive strike.

6. Republicans always call VOTER fraud
and drag our old pal Ann Ecdoctal into the spotlight..

democrats know the real issue is ELECTION fraud on a massive (and secretive) scale..

a few homeless people who got beer & cigarettes to cast a few ballots is no equal for a systemic scheme to disenfranchise tens of thousands of voters or to blatantly erase or switch "vapor-votes" inside machines..leaving no trace.

11. And, of course, the "liberal" media have picked up the
wingnut meme and commit the fraud of being an accomplice to the furthering the fraud.

12. and they always say.. "and it's on BOTH" sides, so..."
The equivocating drives me nuts..

It's like saying that two people are equally ill because they both see a "doctor"..but
one sees an oncologist and another sees an optometrist

14. There has to be a way to hold them accountable for this kind
of crap.
That's the way the nutters plan to get away with the dirty tricks they are pulling and it'll probably work.

I want them all hauled up on charges and if there are democrats who are guilty of pulling similar crap, they need to feel the same intense disgust rendered in legal action. We simply have to clean up this mess.

10. I need to hear them explain
how the fraud could be perpetrated by the Dems, since the machines are mostly owned by NeoCon Repugs.

Will be interesting to see how they spin that one!
